Cobia Comes To Town

It is not every day a submarine comes to Sturgeon Bay.

Towed the USS Cobia (SS-245), a World War II-era submarine and National Historic Landmark 55 nautical miles from Manitowoc to Sturgeon Bay.  Three decades have passed since her last check-up; she was towed by tugs Nickelena and Erika Kobasic of Basic Marine.   Basic Marine Incorporated is a sister company of North Shore Marine Terminal and Logistics Incorporated of Escanaba, Michigan. 

 

The Cobia will be in dry dock at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for a routine inspection and 4 to 6 week restoration process.
